ADMINISTRATIVE ACTS EXTEMPTED FROM JUDICIAL
REVIEW BY ADMINISTRATIVE COURTS
Marta Claudia CLIZA*
Abstract
The Romanian legislation, meaning by this Law no. 554/2004, creates in article no. 5 a special regime
for some administrative acts which will be considered as exceptions from the “common administrative
procedure”. These acts are not subject to the review of the courts, the exception being a total one or a
partial one as it will be described in this study. The existence of the administrative procedure does not
mean an absolute control on the administration. This is in fact th e main reason why this article was
included in Law no. 554/2004 and all implications will be described in this study.
Keywords: Constitution, administrative acts, pleas of inadmissibility, Law no. 554/2004,
contentious-administrative courts.
1. Introduction *
The administrative control is not and
will never be an absolute one, without limits,
so that once with the idea of such a control
has also arisen the idea of some categories of
acts that are to be removed from the scope of
the control of the courts.
Traditionally, these acts have been
called “pleas of inadmissibility”, meaning
administrative acts that are exempted from
the full or partial review of the contentious-
administrative courts.
Owing to the fact that the existence of
such acts falls into the category of the
exceptions, the importance of the concept
and each category analysis involves a great
importance for the theorists and practitioners
of the administrative law.
